== To be done ==
Still needing to be done is past and current events (I've asked on the Halloween hootenanny page for them to write the description of theirs). Also previous years' changes. I couldn't find anything that happened in 2005 on a surface examination.

There's also the questions of Candy and Costume stores without the shopping and bargain hunting skills, or in an unpowererd, ransacked or ruined mall... But again, it's a minor question... --[[user:xensyria|xensyria]]<sup>[[User talk:xensyria|T]]</sup> 07:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== Fog ==

I think [[fog]] article should be merged with this --[[User:Duke Garland|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]] [[LCD|<nowiki>[</nowiki>]][[User talk:Duke Garland|talk]][[Signature Race|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] 14:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

:The only problem with this article, which would affect the fog merge (which I otherwise support) is that when I grouped it by year, then where would the content go? It would have to go in both and should the content in them be the same (redundancy) or different (misleading or at least messy). I guess that if this page is re-ordered by -things- first (fog, candy, etc.) and then by year (specifying which of these things applied, and then as sub sections any events that took place). Any differences in implementation of the -things- could be talked about under that thing's sub section rather than in the main article. I'll give this a shot maybe --[[user:xensyria|xensyria]]<sup>[[User talk:xensyria|T]]</sup> 15:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

::O'll give it a shot too when my mind would be less clouded --[[User:Duke Garland|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]] [[LCD|<nowiki>[</nowiki>]][[User talk:Duke Garland|talk]][[Signature Race|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] 16:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Done - merged fog and reordered. I think that we've almost sorted this Halloween now ;) I'm just gunna check iWitness for other malls and then add redirects from [[Stale candy]] and [[Costume Store]] (I've already done it to [[Fog]], and I can't see why it's good to keep them as they are any more ;). I'm also kicking myself for not checking the flavour text for binoculars this year - and I don't think that iWitness has any. Good teamwork tho! :) --[[user:xensyria|xensyria]]<sup>[[User talk:xensyria|T]]</sup> 17:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== No stores anymore - 24 hours ==

There are neither a candy nor costume stores left at least in Caiger and presumably in all other malls. IMHO they were present only for 24 hours. Thus in lists where it says that "mall is known not to have ... store" - can we be sure that there really was no such store or that was just checked too late?.. --[[User:Duke Garland|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]] [[LCD|<nowiki>[</nowiki>]][[User talk:Duke Garland|talk]][[Signature Race|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] 19:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I personally checked Nichols and Lumber, and they both had one but not the other. I had a character near Pole, but didn't know about the stores until after I'd spent most of his AP, so didn't have a chance to confirm/deny before Hallowe'en was over. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 21:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah - I guess that it's too late. I've gone through all of the relevant iWitness records now too (unless someone added it ''ages'' after loading) and so I guess that we'll just have to say unknown. Maybe it'll be back next year... we'll see - fog was, and we can check them next year if needs be. Tompson's almost certainly lost coz it was in zed hands through the whole day. Still - we did a good job without preparation... one thing is that the fog image is still hosted - see [http://www.urbandead.com/im/fog.jpg] - also last year it was reported that mag.cgi?knock still worked for a while after the event was over. From iWitness I have worked out that it probably lasted 9:40 AM GMT on the 31st of Oct to 9:40 AM GMT on the 1st of Nov, and I've added that to the year's description along with the message that it gave about the fog coming down on malton. --[[user:xensyria|xensyria]]<sup>[[User talk:xensyria|T]]</sup> 21:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== Infinite pumpkins? ==

I was grabbin g a few pumpkins earlier, and noticed that I had gone well over 100% encumbrance. Further searches demontrated I could still grab more. I stopped once I had six or so pumpkins and 210% percent encumbrance. During this whole time, I never recieved an over-encumbered message. Anyone else experience something similar?--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 00:22, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:Can we give pumpkins to people?--[[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkMagenta"> SA</span>]] 00:33, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::Some quick experimenting shows that I am unable to pick up anything else with the six pumpkins. Apparently the pumpkins just ignore encumbrance when you pick them up, while still adding to it.--{{:User:Red Hawk One/sig}} 01:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
:::I noticed this same thing. I was able to get up to 248% encumberance. It seems that pumpkins ignore encumberance altogether. {{User:Vapor/sig}} 08:32, 30 October 2010 (BST)
::::Same as last year. You'll still hit the inventory string limit sometime – see how high you can get! {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 09:29, 30 October 2010 (BST)

:::::: Apparently it isn't quite infinte. [http://iamscott.net/1288771056506.html] In that dumbwit I'm holding 23 pumpkins (total encumbrance is 534%)  but unable to pick up anymore as you might be able to guess by the message. However you might be able to collect more pumpkins then me as the message started to come up when I had picked up my 20th pumpkin. I was then able to pick up 2 more pumpkins before the message appeared again. While I was trying to take a wit of the message and inventory I managed to get one more pumpkin. It is probably feasible get more then me. --{{User:Da_Ninja/sig}} 09:09, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

== How long can you keep pumpkins? ==

I was wondering, how long can I keep pumpkins? Do they spoil if kept too long? Or can they be kept forever? --[[User:Claire Redfield|Claire Redfield]] 02:15, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
:Forever, babe. Forever. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/l}} 08:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== Writing Up Defile Section ==

Any survivors out there able to rub the mess off graffiti? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:20, 29 October 2010 (BST)
:Yes. Before http://iamscott.net/1288378689657.html . After http://iamscott.net/1288378675296.html. From testing, it also appears zombies cannot defile graffiti on billboards, just the normal graffiti at those locations. Also a zombie can use the defile graffiti button even if it's already been done, which changes the letters that are blotted out. [[User:Hyperion|Hyperion]] 20:07, 29 October 2010 (BST)
{{udspan|You clear away enough of the muck and gore to make the graffiti legible again.}} {{User:Vapor/sig}} 20:08, 29 October 2010 (BST)

You've probably already picked up on this, but there are levels of defiling you can add to the walls. Wondering if it takes more AP to take off the gore the more it's been defiled. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/l}} 08:36, 30 October 2010 (BST)
:It doubt it. The Defilation is cyclical, so a zombie sometimes adds less than he removes. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 09:39, 30 October 2010 (BST)
::Ah yes just noticed that myself. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/l}} 23:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
